If I remember correctly they got a part of Palestine from UN in 1948-Which the other Arabic countries refused to accept and attacked the new country.
Israel won this war and lost the Gaza strip to Egypt but gain land in other places. They won these land in war and are thereby theirs In the 1967 war Israel toke Sinai The war in 1973 here they manage to take the Golan and rest of Jerusalem They so to say "won" these part of land in war. Markus |

There never has been, nor will there be, a military solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This is the time to address Israelis in the spirit of mutual respect, hope, and truthfulness; to move beyond the dismissive, derogatory, and threatening words and deeds that define the relationship between Palestinians and Israelis, and between Arabs and Jews. I was born and raised in Jerusalem. I started out as a Palestinian, then became a Palestinian Jordanian, then an immigrant to America, and then an American, now for more than half a century. But nothing—not time, not distance—has diluted my empathy with the Palestinians and Palestine, and nothing has altered my view that all people have rights and deserve to be treated with respect. During my medical residency in the U.S., I met American Jewish doctors who shared my interests and curiosity, if not necessarily my views. Some of them remain my good friends to this day. I have been fortunate in my work, at the American Task Force on Palestine, to develop treasured and enduring friendships with many Jewish people of different nationalities, including Israelis. It is in this very American spirit that I address Israelis today. I must start by noting that our family lost everything in Jerusalem in 1948. We survived and even thrived, but this loss is a core truth of my family’s history. Yet even as I have lived Palestinian pain, I have made an effort to study and understand Jewish pain, which is primordial and deep. Palestinians—almost unanimously—view Zionism not as a triumph, as so many Jews view it, but as a historical tragedy. What is today the nation of Israel began in the late 19th century as a quasi-messianic Western movement to transform historic Palestine into a Jewish state, which had not existed for 2,000 years. The story from our perspective is one of relentless, systematic dispossession of the indigenous Arab population, sponsored by Western colonial powers who were at best cavalier toward Arab rights and aspirations, and at worst brutal and racist... https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...lution/675897/ |
This was an interesting read.

Jew doesn’t define a religion it’s short for Judaean which defines a particular stretch land one hails from.. |
There can be no doubt that the territory known as Israel now and Palestine before, before that was Roman. And before that was Hebrew. And before that wa ssomethign else. And before that was just land with grass eaters and meat nibblers. And before that was somethign totally different.
We should all and everything genetically regress and evolve back to that one cell that we all once were and where we were all one because there was only that one first cell. What peaceful times those were when we were all just one and knew with certainty: "A second cell? I don't need one." Its ironic that the land that humans - and only humans - call "the Holy Land" is the one most fought-over and blood-soaking piece of land in the whole world. Tells a lot about religion. |
You don't destroy mosques, churches, bakeries, olive groves, farms, universities, hospitals, schools, power systems, water systems, unless you are trying to erase an entire people. Unless, when you say terrorists, you actually mean everyone. It's not complex there is no greater evil than genocide, there is no greater dark compromise than to surrender to it. No two sides to this story there's the death cult of Zionism, a European colonial project that seeks to exploit the horror Jews and others went through in WWII as it works to match that nightmare, and there are the occupied who have a fundamental right to armed struggle and freedom. Our generation came of age to the horror of a sobbing Vietnamese girl running, burned naked by Napalm made in the USA. Today entire Palestinian families are vaporized by Israeli phosphorous funded by the USA. Only fools would describe Israel's most recent genocidal attack on millions of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the West Bank as an attack on Hamas

How much you want to bet those poor Palestinians you seem to care so much about would love nothing more than to see Hamas and all the other religious allah lovin killers to be eliminated just as much as Israel and the rest of humanity would? It’s simple, get rid of Iranian backed terrorists like Hamas and all the other allah lovin’ kook fringe psychos and there will be peace. What those poor Palestinians need is their own Alexander Hamilton, John Quincy Adams, Paul Revere and Crispus Attucks to stand up and declare their freedom from the Allah lovin’ psycho killers like Hamas so they can live in peace. And btw, those pictures you’re so appalled by of the little Vietnamese girl burned by American weapons are the same American weapons you believe are necessary in Ukraine. War is hell if ya don’t have the stomach for it then stay out of it. |

Hamas must be destroyed. Presence of civilians must not distract from that goal. Israel cannot avoid collateral damage, but does a lot to avoid it. But it also does what it must. Hamas does what it can to maximise collateral damage. Thats what sets both sides apart. Those tunnels are up to 80m deep. Making them collapse by bombing leaves destruction on the ground surface, too. It cannot be avoided. They must prepare as good as they can, to not needlessly send more soldiers into their deaths than unavoidable. Or should they sacrifice their Jewish lives to save Arab lives? |
I find the idea that Palestinians aren't on the same side as Hamas funny because even the ones on college campuses in the US appear to be on the side of Hamas. :hmmm:

On German streets, Islamic fascism, Hamas genocidalism, and native leftists and Marxist, rightwingers and Nazis, and "woke", "progressive", post-cultural dumbheads melt together and unify. What a mix, united by its hate on freedom, democracy, liberals, "the West" - and Jews. We saw a first taste of that already during and in the aftermath of the terror attack on the Olympic games 1972. Thats fifty years ago.
Lets face it, in the past, many said they criticised Israel but not the Jews. But what it really was about all the time was hate on Jews: antisemitism. And in Germany, we imported antisemites and the wonderful ideology of Islam like crazy. Now we are no more master in our own house, and the mice dance on our tables. In the city of Essen, pro Palstinian dmeonstrator and "radical Islamists" called for the erection of a calipohate in Germany, in other palces the extemrination of Jews was demanded - all not allowed by the law. The government? Outraged words, forbidding words, warning words, admonishing words, threatening words, announcing words - but no deeds to add meat and bones to them - or to enforce the rule of the law. They banned one, a single one radical Hamas organsiation (banned in the EU and rated as a terror organization by the eU since many years. The other such organisations all are left untouched. Germany is hilarious. |
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken meets Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied West Bank.
President Abbas is the leader of the Palestinian Authority, which governs the parts of the West Bank not under Israeli control. Blinken has been working with leaders in the region on a so-called humanitarian pause. President Joe Biden suggested there had been some progress on the issue. But Arab countries have been demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The US warns this would allow Hamas to regroup. Meanwhile the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 30 people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on the al-Maghazi refugee camp - the Israeli military says it is investigating. The UN says there are nearly 1.5 million displaced Gazans - and its facilities in the south are over capacity and no longer able to accept new arrivals. |

They say the first victim in a war is the truth, the second type of victims is the civilians.

If you think about it all the fighting is about "religion", as a theo[sic[k]] - retical idea about the ultimate "truth".
I do not believe ethics are based on any religion. But religion or not, how can you slaughter people for millenia for any theory of religion, imperium, dominance. Sick human minds. |
